A/N: I've decided this fic is going to be five parts. I know there isn't much liason interaction in this chapter, but there will be more in the next one.

Oh and just a little note, this is where I was going to end this fic until Jill convinced me otherwise. So, thanks Jilly Bean!

Enjoy and don't forget to let me know what you think of it!

I Dare You – Part 2/5

"Oh. My. God." Emily laughed. "I cannot believe that just happened. Had I not been here the entire night, I wouldn't have believe it."

"What?" Nikolas placed an arm around his girlfriends waist. "What are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Emily shoved his shoulder as she raised her eyebrows at him. "Elizabeth and Jason."

"What about them?" Nikolas' gaze met his girlfriend's.

"Oh, come on." Lucky rolled his eyes at his brother. "They spent the entire party macking on each other, dude."

"We did not!" Elizabeth blushed. "It was only spin the bottle."

"Spin the bottle my a- butt." Emily corrected herself. "You guys got each other like five times during the game. And then later on when I went to find you I found the two of you all over each other on the terrace."

"We weren't all over each other…" Elizabeth frowned. "And besides, you were the one who dared me – double dog dared me, to be exact – to make out with him.

Emily rolled her eyes. "Okay, Elizabeth. Whatever you say."

"We weren't all over each other, Em." Elizabeth assured her. "We were just- We were…" She searched for the right words.

"You were engaged in a lip lock for over an hour, Elizabeth. I hardly call that not all over each other."

"Fine." Elizabeth groaned, too tired to argue with her. "We were all over each other."

"See?" Emily elbowed Nikolas in the chest, not bothering to hold back. "What did I tell you?"

"Dude, it looked like you guys were going to have sex right there, Liz." Lucky shook his head. "You two were like animals. What happened to the sweet and innocent Elizabeth?"

Three sets of eyes met his in awe. Neither Emily, Nikolas or Elizabeth could believe the words that had just come out of his mouth.

"What?" Elizabeth managed to choke out.

"Dude, the two of you were so wrapped up in each other you may as well have been-"

"Lucky, don't even finish that sentence." Nikolas warned him.

"What?" Lucky glanced at the three of them. "Guys, I was just joking. No need to get all defensive."

The three of them let out sighs of relief.

Once she had arrived home, Elizabeth wasted no time in heading straight to bed. She was exhausted from being out all night. It was a good thing her parents were away for the weekend or she would have had some major explaining to do. And it must have been her lucky weekend too since both Sarah and Steven were away as well. Her older siblings still lived at home even though they attended PCU but she was lucky that they had spent the night out just as she had. Steven was probably roaming the streets of Port Charles and having a grand time hanging out with his buddies. And Sarah was probably spending the night in some nameless stranger's bed. How her sister could be so cavalier about her sleeping arrangements, she'd never know.

It was until two in the afternoon that she rolled out of bed, taking a shower before she even dared to go downstairs. She ate a late lunch and was just settling down to watch a movie in the living room since she had the house to herself when Emily called.

"Hello?" She picked up the cordless phone that hung on the wall nearby.

"Liz?" Emily squealed in delight. "I didn't think you'd be up yet."

"Well, apparently I am." Elizabeth winced at her loud voice. Even though it was the afternoon, it was still too early for her to deal with Emily today.

"What are you doing today? I was hoping the four of us could get together."

"The Four Musketeers, you mean."

"Yes." Emily shook her head on the other end of the line. Who else would she have meant?

"Well, I wanted to just relax today. I was just getting ready to watch a movie."

"You are so boring sometimes, you know that?" Emily laughed into the phone. "But I love you anyway. Alright, maybe we can do something tomorrow."

"Sounds good."

"Okay, then. I'll talk to you later, Liz."

"Bye Em."

Elizabeth ended the call and hung up the phone, starting the move as she walked back to her seat.

The opening credits began immediately once she had fast forwarded through all the previews.

"Sweet Home Alabama." She smiled at the screen. God, she loved this movie.

"Liz!" Carly ran up to her as she walked along the sidewalk to her group of friends.

"Hey." Elizabeth smiled at her. "How was your weekend?"

"Mine was fine." Carly grinned at her. "But, I don't want to talk about me. I want to hear about what happened between you and Jason Morgan at the party on Friday."

"There's nothing to tell." Elizabeth assured her friends. "It was all very innocent."

"That's not what I heard." Carly tried to goad her one more time.

"Nothing happened, Carly."

"If you say so…"

"I do." Elizabeth glanced at her before spotting her friends just up ahead. "I'll see you in second block, okay?"

"Alright." Carly decided to let the subject drop for now. Maybe she'd be able to get out of her in class later. "See ya."

"Hey." Elizabeth walked up the rest of the Musketeers. They had spent the entire day together yesterday, she smiled. Emily took her shopping all morning and then they met up with Lucky and Nikolas at Wyndemere in the afternoon. The four of them spent the remainder of the afternoon hanging out and enjoying each other's company. Even once nightfall had set, they still didn't want to part. They had been having too good of a time together. But, rationalizing that they needed their sleep for school the next day, they all split and went their separate ways.

"Hey Liz." Emily hugged her. "I had a good time yesterday."

"Me too." Elizabeth smiled at her best friend. "Hey guys." She nodded a hello at Lucky and Nikolas.

"Elizabeth." Nikolas smiled at her.

"Liz." Lucky nodded back at her.

"Elizabeth!" Courtney Matthews entered the group. "Is it true?"

Elizabeth took a step away from the girl, not wanting to be too close. She had never liked Courtney but didn't want to start anything so she usually just ignored her. Obviously she wouldn't be able to do that today. "Is what true?"

"You and Jason. Is it true?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Here, let me put it this way: did you spent the entire night on Friday making out with Jason?"

"What does it matter?" Elizabeth's curious gaze met hers. She saw something flicker in the other girls eyes and recognized it immediately. Jealousy. Courtney liked Jason! Elizabeth smiled at the knowledge of the realization and decided to try to get her all in a jumble, which probably wouldn't be too hard. "I mean it's not like Jason is going out with anyone so why should what happened on Friday matter anyway?"

"I- It doesn't. I was just- I was…"

"You were sticking your nose where it doesn't belong." Emily snapped. She too had never gotten along with Courtney, but unlike Elizabeth she wasn't going to be nice to her or ignore her. She was going to tell her straight out what she thought of her. "What Jason and Elizabeth do is none of your business, Courtney. And what are you doing over here anyway? Shouldn't you be over there by your little cheerleader friends? 'Cause you sure as hell aren't wanted here."

"We can talk later, Elizabeth." Courtney grinned at her as she shot Emily a look full of daggers before turning around and leaving the group. She didn't have to deal with Emily Quatermaine's crap, she was better than she was anyway. She was a cheerleader, popular, and beautiful. What did Emily have that she didn't? Other than a prince for a boyfriend of course.

"Dude." Dillon Quatermaine slapped his best friend on the back. "Did you hear?"

"Hear what?" Tyler Varga turned to look at his best friend.

Elizabeth looked up at the duo from her spot in front of her locker. Not only was she short which made her hard to find, but add the fact that she was crouched down in front of her locker…well she'd never be found, she smiled.

"Courtney Matthews asked Jason Morgan out and he turned her down flat, man." Dillon laughed. "It was the greatest thing ever!"

"Why would he go out with her anyway? She's a walking STD." Tyler shook his head. He could never understand what any of the guys saw in Courtney. She was plastic and so vain. Plus she wasn't that pretty and she had a mean disposition.

They still hadn't noticed her, Elizabeth grinned happily at them. She knew them both of course and if they saw her they would know she was eavesdropping. Tyler was in her homeroom and his locker was next to hers obviously since V and W last names were few. And Dillon was Emily's cousin so she liked to think that they were friends since they hung out together frequently.

"I know, right." Dillon slapped his friend's shoulder. "You should have been there, man."

"That good, huh?"

"Yeah." Dillon nodded his head. "Courtney just walked up to him and asked him out. And he's like 'I have my eye on someone else, Courtney. And even if I didn't, I wouldn't go out with you. I don't date guys.'" Dillon laughed. "It was the funniest thing, dude."

"What did she say after he said that?"

"She slapped him."

"What?" Tyler looked up at his friend. "She slapped him?"

"Sorry. I meant she tried to slap him. He stopped her and told her never to try to touch him again. He didn't want to go to the doctors anytime soon."

Tyler leaned his head back and laughed. "Go, Morgan." He and Dillon gave each other high-fives. "I am so going to bust on him for this."

"Well, we better get to class early then 'cause you know that once the bell rings Miss Scorpio likes to start." Dillon reminded him.

Tyler checked to make sure he had all his books before shutting his locker. "Let's go."

Elizabeth waited until they were a safe distance down the hall before standing up and shutting her locker, taking off in the opposite direction.

"Hey Jason," Sonny snaked his arm around his best friends neck as the two entered the classroom. "What's this I hear about you and Courtney Matthews?"

Jason rolled his eyes, pulling Sonny's arm off of him as he took his seat in the back of the classroom. "It's nothing man." He turned in his seat to look at Sonny whose seat was right next to his in the row. "She asked me out and I said no. Simple as that."

"That's not what I heard."

"There are a lot of rumors going around, huh?"

"Yeah." Sonny nodded his head. "The most recent one I heard is that you knocked her up and now you two are getting married."

Jason chuckled. "Yeah right." He scoffed. "Why would I ever even go near her? I'd have to touch her to impregnate her." He shuddered.

"Exactly." Sonny smiled, showing off his dimples. "Now, let's move onto more pressing matters. What are you going to do about Elizabeth?"

Jason looked away, staring down at the pile of books on his desk. "What about her?"

"Jase." Sonny sighed. "You've liked her since freshman year. And you spent the entire night on Friday attached to her mouth. Either you go out with her or forget about her, get her out of your system."

"Sonny…" Jason glanced sideways at him. "I really like her. I want to date her." He sighed. "I just don't know how to go about it."

Sonny placed a hand on his chin, pretending to ponder an answer. "Well, maybe you could talk to her."

"I want to. But we're just so different."

"Jason, listen to me." Sonny waited until his friend's eyes met his. "If you want to go out with her, ask her out."

"I don't want to just go out with her though. I want her to be my girlfriend." Jason shifted his long legs underneath the desk. "I want more than just a few meaningless dates."

"Well, you aren't going to get her by just sitting around." Sonny clasped a hand on his shoulder, shaking Jason gently in a friendly manner. "Ask her out, go on a few dates…and then go from there."

Jason nodded his head.

"Nothing is going to happen if you don't take the initiative, Jase."

"I know, I know." Jason nodded his head slowly knowing Sonny was right. "But what if she says no?"

"You'll never know unless-"

The bell rang, marking the start of the period.

"Okay everyone, please take your seats." Miss Robin Scorpio addressed her class as she stood up from her desk, waiting for her students to get situated.

Sonny gave their teacher a fleeting glance before turning back to his friend. "We'll continue this later, alright?"

"Okay." Jason grinned at him. "Thanks Sonny."

"You're welcome." Sonny replied as he opened his notebook. Miss Scorpio had warned them yesterday that they were taking notes today so they had better come prepared. He definitely wasn't in the mood to have his hand fall off, he groaned.

"Hey." Emily bumped into her.

"Hey, Em."

"Where are you headed?"

"To my locker and then to class." Elizabeth shifted her books in her arms. Why did they always insist that she had to bring all of her books to class when they rarely used them? They made them lug them around for no reason. It was pointless since the teachers usually handed out worksheets anyway. "What about you?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you so I'll just go to your locker with you."

"Won't you be late to class?" Elizabeth glanced at her friend. She didn't want Emily to get in trouble because of her.

"My teacher isn't here today so I've got a sub. It's probably Luke anyway." Emily shrugged the question off.

"Oh, okay." Elizabeth smiled. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Courtney." Emily frowned. "Did you hear that she asked Jason out?"

"Yeah, I heard."

"Did you also hear that he turned her down?"

"Heard that too."

"Oh." Emily's brows scrunched in confusion. "You don't sound happy."

"Why would I be?" Elizabeth stopped in front of her locker and immediately began to dial her combination.

"Well," Emily shuffled her feet. "Jason turned her down."

"What do I care for? It's not like Jason's my boyfriend or anything." She opened her locker and set the books that were in her arms on the bottom. As if he would ever want someone like me, the voice in her head spoke up.

"Yeah, but you wish he was."

"Emily." Elizabeth sighed. "We are from two different worlds. It would never work."

"You don't know that. Besides, you both like each other and you definitely have great chemistry together so that isn't the issue. Plus, you know what they say…opposites attract."

"If you say so."

"Come on, you and I both know that if he walked up to you right now and asked you out you'd say yes. You've been drooling over him for months!"

"Maybe." Elizabeth replied, vaguely.

Emily glanced at her watch. "Alright, I'm going to get to class just in case Luke isn't our sub. I don't want to make a bad first impression."

Elizabeth laughed. "Okay."

"So, I'll see you later?"

"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded at her. "We can meet at Kelly's or something, okay Em?"

"Okay." Emily smiled. "I'll see you later."

"Later." Elizabeth watched her walk away before she leaned back down to grab next period's books out of her locker. She let out a sigh, taking great care to grab the right book. She definitely didn't need a repeat of last week. She had been so humiliated when she had showed up for Chemistry with her Algebra book.

Why oh why did it have to be Monday? She shook her head at the thought. Monday's sucked; there was so doubt about that. It was the beginning of a very long week and most of the time you were still overtired from the weekend. All in all, Monday's were the worst day of the week. Or at least she thought so.

"Elizabeth?"

She looked up from her locker, nearly dropping her books in the process, as she eyed Jason Morgan curiously. "Yes?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a date with me. Maybe Friday or Saturday night." He didn't want to just blurt it out, but he also didn't want to drag it out either. He had to do this while he still had his nerve.

"What?" Her eyes widened in surprise. He was asking her out on a date? He, Jason Morgan, one of the most popular guys in their class was asking her out on a date?

"I want you to go out on a date with me."

"I- I can't."

"Come on, one date with me won't kill you." He winked at her playfully. "We spent the entire night on Friday exchanging saliva and today you're worried about going on a date with me?"

"I'll think about it." She promised as she tried to maneuver her way around him. But before she got too far away, he was pulling her back.

Jason snaked an arm around her waist and placed the other on her shoulder, holding her in place with her back against his chest. When he opened his mouth to speak, his voice low and husky, he sent shivers down her spine.

"I dare you."

"I- I said I'll- I'll think about it." She stuttered, barely managing to get the words out. Who told him about the dare? Emily, her subconscious pointed out. She wouldn't be surprised if it were Emily, she reasoned logically.

"Okay." Jason let her go. "You've had time to think about it now. Friday or Saturday?"

Elizabeth's eyes twinkled with mischief as she looked up at him.

"How about both?"
